The true testimony of this great pope's work is what the world witnessed over this past week -
millions of faithful streaming into the Vatican. The MSM still believe they can manipulate and control through their privileged news anchor positions. If anything, this week has been an exercise for faithful catholics of media ignorance. Katie Kouric talking about NATO planes during the chanting of the Litany of the Saints, is the penultimate insult and slap in the face.

I do think that the Vatican did grave harm to the faith by pushing so hard against the Iraq war. (Truthfully, the Pope NEVER explicitly said that the Iraq war was wrong... it was the Curia which persistently misstated him. Yet, the Pope is responsible for them.) Whenever Church leaders speak outside their purview, they weaken their moral authority on the issues which they do have authority on.
The Pope speaks infallible doctrine on matters such as abortion and abstinence. He speaks authoritatively on matters such as birth control, and homosexuality, and anyone who challenges that authority would have to the impossible task of creating valid grounds to challenge it on. He offers mere opinion on issues such as the death penalty and the Iraq war.

Tragically, the storm of which the author speaks is not the one that should be advanced:
"the pope is dead, long dead lie the pope."Making the pope in the modern church's image rather than the traditional one only guarantees more turmoil long after the lightning and thunder have subsided.
Admitting the anachronistic nature of the papacy itself would be a real storm and far more beneficial to the advancement of a religion-free society once the skies cleared and reason prevailed.
Or, at least that's what I get from a careful parsing of these post-pope tirades..

AND HE SHOULD!
That a Catholic priest should partake in a Stalinist government is horrific! What foul manner of demon would excuse such an action?

Re #26 -- you're so right. Sadly enough, my first thoughts when reading this article were "well, heck, I see worse than this almost every day on FR!"

The truth hurts, so the misfits can ACT UP as usual.

That ambulance story is wacky and untrue. The guy who wrote it is a gay activist kook I'm familiar with. He's not 100% kook, more like 50%

When they lose again, watch out. That's when the real howling will begin. They've been counting the days since 1978.

This is why I hate the whole structure of the Catholic church. Way too much power... "How many divisions does the pope have?" The Church has power, but not earthly power.

The History Channel (a joint venture of the "yellow journalism" Hearst Corporation, ABC, Inc., and NBC) did a fair job of that last night in the run up to the funeral. Until they ran with the bogus "Hitler's pope" story. The NY Times on several occassions called the pope's statements against Nazism a lonely voice in the wilderness on several occassions. The chief rabbi of Rome converted to Catholicism because he was so impressed by the pope's efforts in defense of the Jews.

I heard somebody the other day, it might have been Donohue, talk about how the left has this idea that the College of Cardinals and the Papacy is something like a Roman Catholic Supreme Court that can be pressured, lobbied, massaged, manipulated, twisted, and tortured until eventually somebody comes along who will give them what they want. What they fail to understand is that these are matters of decided church doctrine and are not subject to revision or revisitation, overturning or overthrowing. They are what they are and the Pope has no power to change what has been decided in times past. Bingo. They just don't get it.

Perhaps an inquisition, though they have to find a nicer sounding name. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith 8-)
